@keith1854 Liar liar pants on fire.
It's very easy to do the backwards math.
Came back after 22 months in July 2007. Were in the combat zone for 16 months.
Deployed in Sepish. Went to the combat zone in 2006.
Retired Sgt. Major Joseph Eustice said Walz “fulfilled his duty. He was a great soldier. When he chose to leave, he had every right to leave.”
Eustice spoke to NewsNation about the timing of Walz’s retirement in 2005 after serving in the Guard for 24 years. Walz left a few months before the 1-125th Field Artillery Battalion was sent to Iraq.
“As far as I know, he did not know,” Eustice said of whether Walz knew about the upcoming deployment. “At that time, there were all kinds of rumors about us deploying. In May, when he decided to retire … we had no ‘Notice of Deployment.’ That didn’t come until July,” he added.
Over 100 Soldiers from 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, Headquarters and Headquarters Battery returned to New Ulm, Minn., on July 23. The Minnesota National Guard's 1st Brigade Combat Team has been deployed 22 months, 16 months of which were in a combat zone. The 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 34th Infantry Division has been deployed in a combat zone longer than any other military unit in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

We've been protecting the seas since WW2. You idiots have no idea of our history or the US Navy's core objectives. I swear the internet has made people dumber even though all the information is readily available.
Excerpt from the Sec Navy speech:
The United States emerged from World War II as the dominant naval power and since then, has underwritten the laws and rules that govern the oceans, for example ensuring that acts of piracy are the exception rather than the rule, as was the case in the past. It is thanks to our presence in international waters that commerce has boomed in the last half-century all over the world—and with those increased levels of trade have come improved economic prospects, higher standards of living, and greater opportunities for greater numbers of people, not just in the United States, but in all nations that participate in free and open trade. The U.S. Navy has guaranteed this freedom by ensuring the stability and security of sea lanes around the world, particularly in areas where piracy, terrorism, and other forms of illegal activity threaten the safe passage of goods and people.
